The Republic of Flame Trooper 3 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.378 billion Flame Trooper 3ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 32.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Flame Trooper 3ian economy, worth 52.1 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,843 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

University admissions staff are blindfolded to prevent accidental bias, business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', and the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flame Trooper 3's national animal is the Droid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Flame Trooper 3 is ranked 193,200^th in the world and 3,121^st in eta for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 299.1 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
